@benryanwriter What is an “anti-bedtime leftist”?

Queer editor James Ball declares Bluesky a “dying social network,” blaming aggressive censoriousness by Blueskyites of perceived ideological enemies: “There's a large cadre that basically cheers on chasing off any lib/centrist/academic who's the punchbag of the day. There's a culture of saying ‘fuck off back to X, then.’ And the anti- bedtime leftists set too much of the culture. “I don't know if it's fixable, especially as I think quite a lot of the people here don't *want* to fix it. But at the rate users are quitting they'll run out of targets soon enough, and the rest of us will lose what is – for a fair few of us I suspect – the last fun/useful social network. Sigh.”

@dom_lucre This is very typical in Texas. Similar houses can be found in the DFW metroplex too.

🔥🚨DEVELOPING: Hundreds of Americans are stunned after learning about this 3 bed 2.5 bath house near Houston Texas under $300,000 with just $10,000 down.

@RichardHanania Two dozen tiny ass countries maybe.

There are over 400K US households with a net worth of over $30 mil. That’s more than the populations of over two dozen countries! What an incredible story of innovation and achievement. Some Europeans make life a bit nicer for the lazy and less productive. Congrats I guess.

@IcyVert Why not?

Going forward something needs to be done about this. This absolutely should not be a strike.

@HeidiBriones @Tablesalt13 $10k each year probably 😭

@Tablesalt13 What's the property tax?

What the f*ck man 🤯🤯

@Tablesalt13 Texas is GOATed

@XristosDervish1 @OoferD2 @DragonBall43ver Well, Americans invent the process and technology that every single cartoon in this OPs image uses. I don’t know what the Europeans did prior to this, but whatever they invented was not widely adopted.

@Yetomy_Corp @OoferD2 @DragonBall43ver Dude! Not That! Cartoons Are Invented in Europe!

Who did it better?

@TheRealThelmaJ1 I believe it just grazed his ear.

Reminder: On the left a ballistic test some MAGA Bros did on YouTube showing what an AR-15 would do to a human ear trying to prove Trump was hit by a bullet. On the right Trump less than 2 weeks after his ear was supposedly struck by a bullet.

AI filmmaking.

@WallStreetApes Grow a thicker skin or people like this aren’t gonna make it.

Young Americans are having mental breakdowns realizing the cost of rent, gas and life means they’ll never be able to afford anything They are breaking down knowing that no matter how much they work, it all just goes to monthly bills they still cant afford This is unsustainable

@wil_da_beast630 That’s what she said.

I'm taking D all day.

just bought my #firstcar #2026 #😝

@idecypher 40 G for a Kia? 🤨

@TheGoldenDays Did?

Which one did you use to burn CDs?

@thegubblerlogos @JeremiahDJohns Frankly I don't really pay attention to new music these days, so I have no idea really, but some of the fav albums of my youth are debut albums from the 90s, 00s & 10s. That being said, I think a lot of artists don't peak until their 2nd or 3rd album so maybe the 20s is a lull

I’ve got lists going back to the 50s and I’m struggling to come up with one in the last 15-20 rateyourmusic.com/list/thesmokin… Women ? Broadcasts the noise made by people Electrelane - the power out If you count sun kil moon ghost of the great highway But had to reach far back for all of those

I've written about this before, but it's remarkable how much older music is strangling new music. And the same is true in books, movies, video games. Older media is taking up a bigger and bigger share of the market every year.

@thegubblerlogos @JeremiahDJohns I’ll have to give it a listen. 👍👍

@JeremiahDJohns What was the most recent future-classic debut album? As an elder millennial, my formative years and the formidable years of my parents generation saw the release of countless future-classic debut albums.

Movies are in the worst state the industry has ever been in. Only a handful of decent films in the last 20 years - and the last ten has been mostly garbage Other decades had masterpiece after masterpiece Kids can’t even read anymore They certainly don’t do it for fun but the publishing world has radically changed There’s more music than ever before and it’s all found in the same place as every album ever released just one button or one random shuffle track away But with music as well - albums that will last and become classics seem fewer and fewer every year Music has also become far more individualistic rather than communal - we aren’t all watching 120 minutes and know the same albums - it’s all hyper niche as out attention space dwindle and we are just jumping from new to old to new There’s no grounding in time no eras that last more than a few weeks

@JeremiahDJohns I’d argue video games peaked somewhere in the 2000s-2010s.

Not to pick on anyone in particular, but there's a lot of people saying "Yeah this is because new music sucks". And respectfully, you should all think harder. Do you also think all new books suck? That authors forgot how to write? Movies too? Video games??? Because they're all seeing the same trend. Video games are an interesting space where, in a very objective sense, the games are MUCH better than they used to be. And yet people still increasingly just play older games. That should be your clue this isn't just "all art in every medium decided to suck at the same time". It's a story about technology and distribution.

@Sarah4Texas Anyone else notice the Braum’s on the other side of the street? Does Braum’s have the best fast food burgers? I think you could make a good argument that it does.

Gambling and cannabis are so terrible. Look at Oklahoma. Legalized gambling. Medical cannabis. $3.06 gas. Obviously Texas has it all figured out.
